Wire Forms

Shaped wire (usually spring steel) is used to create wire forms, which have various uses and are often seen in products that we use every day. Some examples include lightbulb filaments, musical instruments, clocks, pins, pegs, and rivets.

Shaped wire is finished and then bent or formed using external pressure, which is performed using various machining techniques. Possible configuration opportunities are endless, allowing for multiple customization options, which allows this product to be quite diverse in its use cases.

Wire Forms Overview

Custom wire forms are manufactured in a variety of shapes to perform a specific function or functions. Sharp bends are avoided in wire form designs because high concentrations of bending stresses can lead to early fatigue failures.

There are no overall design equations for wire forms, meaning we will work with you to determine the best material, sizing, and manufacturing process to suit your needs.
